The bustling streets were teeming with people, who stopped and gathered around when they saw something interesting to watch.
When they saw a group of people surrounding the two people as if they were robbing them, and realized that they were from the Black Fiend Immortal Palace, they could only mourn for Qin Feng and Ao Ling.
But then the situation took a dramatic turn; the two people turned out to be members of the Yuan family, a fact that amused everyone present.
Qin Feng looked at the crowd of pedestrians gathering around him and thought that the effect would definitely be great under the watchful eyes of so many people.
The group from the Black Fiend Immortal Palace were utterly stunned when they heard Qin Feng's request; he actually dared to ask for two thousand immortal crystals.
They only get 500 immortal crystals a month, which is practically killing them. This request is absolutely unacceptable.
They were filled with shame and anger.
"Two thousand immortal crystals? That's impossible! You're practically trying to kill us."
"That's right, absolutely not, don't go too far."
Others echoed this sentiment, angrily condemning Qin Feng's request as outrageous.
Qin Feng raised an eyebrow, looking at the Black Fiend Immortal Palace members, each with wide, angry eyes and filled with grief and indignation.
He had an expression that said, "Even if you kill me, I'm not going to give you two thousand immortal crystals."
Qin Feng was genuinely surprised. He had indeed deliberately embarrassed them and was trying to exacerbate the conflict between the Black Fiend Immortal Palace and the Yuan family.
But these people were much poorer than he had imagined. They couldn't even afford this much immortal crystal. It was really shameful, especially considering they had such a powerful influence.
He planned to provoke and humiliate them further, hoping to deepen the resentment of the Black Fiend Immortal Palace towards the Yuan family.
At this moment, a man walked up to Qin Feng and coldly said to the people from the Black Fiend Immortal Palace:
"Excessive? How can you expect to offend the Yuan family without paying a price? Do you really think the Yuan family is someone to be trifled with?"
Qin Feng was surprised that someone would help him, and looked at the person who came with curiosity.
This man was a mid-stage Xuanxian, around twenty years old, and looked even younger than Qin Feng.
This man had delicate features and was dressed in brocade robes. The most striking feature was the prominent "Yuan" character on his left chest, which indicated his identity.
Qin Feng instantly understood; they had encountered a true member of the Yuan family, which was even better.
After reprimanding the people from the Black Fiend Immortal Palace, the man turned to Qin Feng and smiled, "Yuanran greets his cousin."
Qin Feng composed himself, his face remaining calm and composed, and returned the greeting, "Hello, Brother Ran, my name is Yuan Chen."
Yuan Ran glanced at Qin Feng and realized he didn't remember such a person, so he asked, "Brother Chen, you look unfamiliar."
In life, everything depends on acting skills, so you can't afford to mess up at this time.
Qin Feng smiled and said, "I have been training outside since I came of age, and I rarely return to Duoxin Peak, so you naturally feel that I am unfamiliar with you."
Yuan Ran nodded and looked at the Black Fiend Immortal Palace and the others.
"Brother Chen, let's deal with the immediate matter first, and talk later."
"Our Yuan family is not to be trifled with. Anyone who provokes us will pay the price, and the people of the Black Fiend Immortal Palace are no exception."
Qin Feng chuckled inwardly. Yuan Ran's words were incredibly domineering, revealing a glimpse into the Yuan family's extremely domineering style, which did not tolerate any disobedience.
The Black Fiend Immortal Palace members were shocked to find another accomplice, and upon hearing Yuan Ran's words, they felt even more ashamed and angry.
"Don't push your luck. This person has clearly suffered no loss, yet he demands two thousand immortal crystals. Let me tell you, that's impossible."
"That's right. Just because our Immortal Palace doesn't want to provoke your Yuan family doesn't mean we're afraid of you."
"Don't push your luck. We'll admit our mistake and apologize, and that's the end of it. Why make such a fuss?"
They were on the verge of war at the slightest provocation. They were extremely frustrated, feeling that the Yuan family had gone too far and they could no longer tolerate it.
Qin Feng saw more and more people gathering around, and the street was completely blocked.
He feared attracting more members of the Yuan family, which would expose his identity and lead to more losses than gains.
Then they saw a group of Black Fiend Immortal Palace members with faces full of grief and indignation, their eyes blazing with fury, ready to fight to the death.
He wanted to stir up trouble, but he didn't want to start a war here. If he couldn't help but kill them, all the efforts of today would be in vain.
He needs these people to take their grief and anger back and infect more people in the Black Fiend Immortal Palace.
Tell their stories to more people in the Black Fiend Immortal Palace, so that more people will dislike the Yuan family.
Qin Feng looked down at the Black Fiend Immortal Palace members with an arrogant attitude, his eyes filled with mockery and disdain.
"Actually, I didn't intend to make things difficult for you. Originally, I just wanted to collect some immortal crystals to get over this matter. The point is not the immortal crystals, but the face of my Yuan family."
I never expected you to be so poor. Isn't the Black Fiend Immortal Palace a first-rate power? You don't even have this much money. It's a disgrace to the Immortal Palace.
"Alright then, you can all chip in two thousand immortal crystals. If you're not even willing to do that, then I feel you're completely disrespecting the Yuan family."
From each person receiving two thousand immortal crystals to the total receiving two thousand immortal crystals, the people of the Black Fiend Immortal Palace were still not happy.
They could afford to give them the immortal crystals, but giving them the immortal crystals would be seen as admitting defeat and yielding, which made them very resentful and increased their hatred for the Yuan family.
The group looked at each other, as if they were discussing something.
Seeing that Qin Feng had made a decision, Yuan Ran, though somewhat displeased, did not refute Qin Feng's words.
He glanced at the still somewhat reluctant members of the Black Fiend Immortal Palace and said coldly:
"Don't push your luck. Don't underestimate us just because we're outnumbered. With just one command, we can easily outnumber you all."
The Black Fiend Immortal Palace members felt even more aggrieved and angry upon hearing this.
Someone couldn't help but shout, "You can call for help, but we can't?"
Yuan Ran stared at him coldly, "Oh, so you mean you're unwilling to do as Brother Chen suggests?"
The man was about to argue back when his companion stopped him.
They remembered the recent order issued by the Palace Master: no one was to provoke the Yuan family.
"Okay, we admit defeat today."
The group, feeling extremely frustrated, scraped together two thousand immortal crystals and handed them to Qin Feng.
Qin Feng accepted it without any politeness and said coldly, "You guys are quite sensible."
When the people from the Black Fiend Immortal Palace yielded, they couldn't help but point fingers and whisper.
The Black Fiend Immortal Palace is a powerful force, and we are usually very arrogant in front of them. It's rare to see this side of us.
In this way, they gained a clearer understanding of the power of the Yuan family.
Hearing the various discussions, the group from the Black Fiend Immortal Palace could no longer stay. Filled with anger and resentment, they left.
After finishing his business, Qin Feng cupped his hands to Yuan Ran and said:
"Thank you, Brother Ran. You are indeed majestic and imposing. I have been away from the Yuan family for a long time, and I have lost some of your magnanimity."
Yuanran was delighted by Qin Feng's flattery; who doesn't love to hear nice words? He pretended to be embarrassed and waved his hand.
"Brother Chen, you're too kind. I don't have that ability. It's all thanks to your excellent preparation."
The two exchanged a few compliments.
Finally, Yuanran said to Qin Feng, "I'm going back to the Yuan family. Brother Chen, would you like to come with me?"
Qin Feng nodded, "Alright, we've been out for so long, it's time to go back and visit."
The two of them, along with Ao Ling, flew towards the outskirts of the city.
On the way, Yuanran asked Qin Feng about his identity, "My grandfather is Yuanxin, which lineage does Brother Chen belong to?"
